Yoann Lossel

If you think about pure spirit translated into art and Old Masters
reincarnated into our crazy,modern times then what you mean is Yoann
Lossel. What is striking about his art is not the gold leaf mixed with
hydrangea petals and all of them mixed with graphite or oils but the
feeling that you step into another universe.

In fact his entire collection is
filled with a bizarre beauty that reminds me of the H.R. Giger art with
the only difference that Yoann Lossel prefers the past or shall I say
the mythologies of the ancient Europeans and spiritual worlds to the
future horror Alien realities that filled H.R. Giger’s and made him
famous.

I admire his art for many,many years
and what fascinates me is that he not only evolves as an artist but it
seems that his entire spirit evolves with it.

“Eros et Thanatos”

When you first look at one of his masterpieces, you can’t deny the fact
that your entire Self is mesmerized to the point that it wants to jump
into the scene and be part of the art piece. Not only once it happened
to me to say that an image would fit perfectly a Tarot card or even
better would make a great meditation exercise.

Horace used to say that “a picture is a
poem without words” but in Yoann Lossel’s case they make more than a
poem but entire stories of lost and forgotten lands .

“The wild hunt”

It would take a writer years to describe an image like that mainly because after you thought that you’ve seen everything in there, suddenly you find out new details that connect to previous details and make up new stories.

It is so fascinating! Is like the artist worked for at least a
lifetime to make up one image when in fact his genius allowed him to
finish it faster than anyone of us would think. He is one of
those half- gods that bring us,the mortals, the wisdom of the superior
realms. I do believe that the future generations will remember and bow
to the genius of Yoann Lossel.
